In a related topic:I went to some city planning seminars at A&M and there were panels discussing the benefits and draw backs to widening roadways. When roads are widened in the name of convenience, and speed they often get the opposite result; medians are then required for safety, which bisect the road and prohibits cross street access (especially for pedestrians); there becomes a need for more lights at every side street because cars move faster; and at every light there is need for a left hand turn lane with a protected arrow signal which adds another rotation to the light. So in summary, the need for cars sucks, and moving more cars at a faster speed isn't the best optionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849225494225493087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709944459979690964.post-77639752467442132952010-05-28T08:43:09.327-05:002010-05-28T08:43:09.327-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15849225494225493087noreply@blogger.com
